The House

This is just like one of those horror gone wrong movies. It is an exact replica of Shutter and Alone. But there was a twist at the end of the movie.

Is Asia finally getting over the hair ghost phenomenon?

Could be ... Hideo Nakata - the primary cause for the phenomenon thanks to the phenomenal success of Ringu - avoids it entirely in Kaidan which is earning early raves, Korea’s The Black House is likewise a significant success that stays away from that particular trope while Thailand’s stunning 13 Beloved stands as one of the most acclaimed genre pictures out of the region in the past year and also mines entirely different territory.



I doubt the hair ghost will ever entirely go away but it’s good to see film makers tapping in to some other devices and while it does get a little ghostly in moments Monthon Arayangkoon’s The House looks to mine some interesting ground as well

Inspired by true story of three horrible murders that happened to three women in different times.



The film tells a story of Chalinee, a girl who intensively finds the truth of the past cruel murders. Finally, it leads her to a house where the crimes started. Something haunts in the house is the most terrible experience for her.



The leading actress, "Ah! Help! Help! Don't ruin my face! If you want to kill me, leave my face alone, I want to die pretty! Let go of your hands!

As you can see, she's pretty stony in the movie and her voice is like a man.

But this movie has a twist at the end. If you expect the killer to be who he or she is, then you are absolutely wrong.

I will give this movie, 3.5 / 5 .
